Goodwin's Principles - Lyrics and Visuals

Lyrics and Visuals


Goodwin states there should be a clear indicated relation between the lyrics and visuals of a music video. When this is created, it can allow the audience to follow and understand what is happening more easily. 


Lil Wayne - 6 foot 7 foot






Every lyric is represented by a visual. Every new lyric shows a new scene. This creates a clearing understanding of what is being said. For example, 1:18 - 1:20 'I think you stand under me, if you dont understand me' the visuals shows a low angle shot, with the camera pointing up towards Lil Wayne, emphasizing the lyric and the fact that he looks dominant.
